To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Enwm If. BAAREMEL i citizen of the United States,residing at the 1 city of St Louis, State of Missouri, have 111- Ivented certain new and useful Improvements in Labeling-Machines, ofwhich the followin is a specification.

1 's invention relates to means for affixing labels to bottles by meansof adhesives,

lo and has for its object to accomplish this operation automatically bymachinery, and particularly in such manner that each label may receivecoating of the adhesive on all parts of its reverse side, and that thismay l take placeirrespective of the shape of the l l. I

labe

It has heretofore been found difficult, if not im ossible, so to applythe adhesive substance to labels that all parts, of their surface thustreated will receive such coating. The resultuof this has been that thelabel. would begin to peel from the bottles in s ots or to listerinspots, which made the w role label subject to easy detachment ordefacemcnt This objection as been especially noted in connection with llabels of peculiar or irre in the instanceof a labe irregular shape asthat indicated in the draw ular shape; but even f 'the practical opera-F of such difficult and tion of my machine that adhesive 1s applied toall arts of that side of the label intended to be t fius coated.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, inwhich like numlore, of reference denote like parts wherever 5 theyoccur, Figure 1 is a front elevation. l Fiig. 2 is a rear elevation.Figs. 3 and 4 are sl( e elevations on op )osite sides. Fig. 5 is a topplan. view; and l ig. 6 is a vertical sectional view on the line 6 6,Figs. 1, 2, and 5.

The main frame 1 of the machine consists of certain vertical standardsand horizontal eross-picces 2. The main frame 1 supports 5 in theirseveral ,positiors 'he various moving parts hcreii' aftcr described. Thearrows indicate the direction. of rotation or movement of each of saidmoving parts. A common source of powcr-supply'-for instance, the belt-idirectly or indirectly actuates all said movirg parts.

The belt 3 drives the band-wheel 4,-keyed to the main shaf t 5, to whichis also fixed the 1 will grooved pulley 6, which drives the groovedpulley 7 by the belt 8, said pulley 7 being fixed to the shaft 9, whichrotates the-roller 10, said shaft 9 being journaled in the bearings 11on opposite sides of the receptacle 12 for the adhesive material 13,applied to the labels by the roller 10 in the course of its rotation. Aswill be obvious, the roller 10 dips into the adhesive material 13 duringpart of its rotation and is coated therewith during' that part of itsrevolution where it comes into contact with the labels.

The main shaft 5 is journaled in a crosspiece2 of the main frame 1 anddrives a pinion 14, fixed to its inner end. The particular cross-piece 2just referred to is made of sullicicn t width and thickness, at least atcertain portions thereof, to provide suitable bearings 15 not only forthe shaft 5, but also for the shafts lb and 17, the uses of which behereinafter described. The other bearings 15 for the shafts 16 and 17are to be found in a similar cross-piece 2 at the opposite side of themachine.

The shaft 17 is stationary and hollow, the hub 18 of the wheel 19encircling same and revolving therearound, the spokes 20 connecting therim of said wheel 19 to the hub 18. An additional pair of hollow spokes21 communicate with the interior of the shaft 17 and also with the diesor label-holders 22, which contain a plurality of perforations 23,thereby affording communication between the exterior atmosphereangilbthe interior of the shaft 17 for purposes hereinafter to bedescribed. A slot 17 is formi-d (in-uniformitially partially around thewheel of shaft 17 opposite the openings of spo es 2], so that when thewheel 19 is revolved on shaft 17 the slot 17 opens into the hollowspokes 2] part of the time, while the part of the circumfen ence ofshaft 17 oppositc said slot l7 tmarkcd 17 acts as a cut-off ofcomumuiration between the interior shaft 17 and one of the spokes 21during that part of the travel of die 22 when same is. ap )IOiM'lllDgits highest point. The pipe or tube 24 also communicates with the hollowshaft 17 and leads to a fan 25, (illustrated in a conventional manner.)The shaft of the fan 5 may be driven from the same shaft that impartsmotion to the belt 3, if desired. The fan 25 creates suction throughpipe 24, shaft 17', slot 17, spokes 21, and perforations 23 so tlnttwhen :1 lobe] is upon one or both of the ers .22 said air suetionretains it in llrtit nosition, exeept utter it spoke it has pussed theslot 17, whereby the uileiit ztnn) portion of the shaft 17 is roused toblot-k oil the air sin tion from that )oke ill, as eleurly shown in Fig.(5. Thus (luring the major portion of the rotation of the litbel eurrierltl uir suetion tithes plume through the perforations 21% and it spokeill. i'lhe shaft 17 by int-uni ot' the slot 17 therein thus nets us avalve, ullowin stir suction the greater part ot the time, ut cuttingsome oil during that pa rt ol' the rotation of it spoke 2] when the die.22 is nearing the position shown in Figs. 3 and n, the air suctionbeingwut oil at that time in order to facilitate the stripping of thelabel from the die 22, as hereinafter desrribi-d. Other means forproducing the rut uired pneumatie action may be substituted ior sztidfun.

The pinion 14 meshes with and drives :1 gear-wheel 26, fixed to theprolongation is of the hub 18 of wheel 19, which is thus caused torotate around the stutiomtry hoL low shaft 1?. The rotation of the wheelit) carries the dies or labeldioldors .22 surressively past thelabel-stoek lUt'lI ted in the it! belcup 27, the adhesive-app]yingroller 10, and to the point where the label is stripped from thelabel-holder 22, which is in a position slightl in advance of the upperlnbetliolder 22 in igs. 3 and 6. The die 22 and the cup 27 operate ascounting male and fenmle parts when the die 22 in the course of rotutionot' the wheel 19 has reached such point of its travel that it can enterthe en 27 As the wheel 19 further rotates the il io 22 is with drawnfrom the cup 27 and passes onto the roller 10. Within the cup 27 isplau'ed :1 bunch or stack of labels, Wllit'li rest upon theforwardly-inovin r disk or plate 28, borne by the threaded rod 29, whiehpasses through the threaded opening 30 in the bottom 31 oi the cup 27and through the opening 3; in the ratchetwheel 33 (fixed to the rod 2')and through the threaded opening in the strap or bracket 34, 'lhe pawlQ5 kept in engii ement with the teeth of the ratchet whee 33 by thelUl'HlUlkSpllllQ I36 to prerent retrogressive movement of the ratchet33, rod 29, and disk 28. The spring-pressed iin er 37 is held by thebruekot 38 ndjneent to the ratchet 33, so as to impinge against therisers of the teeth on the re tehet 33, and thus to rotate the ratchet33 and rod 29, thereby forcing forward in the cup 27 the forwardlymovingdisk 28. As the arms which carry the platen 40, bearing the Cup 27, arepivoted at 41 by means of the rod or shtift 42 to the cross-pieces 2,between which said arms are located, and as an oscillating mo tion. isimparted to said arms, )leten, end on as hereinafter described, theteeth of said ratchet-wheel 33 are brought into eontrirl n'ith uids ringressedlinger-I41 ut eneh dies or lnbeldtold :tlt rmtte osrillution olsuid members so :is to be pnsin d l'oruitrd by the linger IlT.

When the die 22enters the enp 27. it eoln presses the stoek ol' lnbels, eonsisting tilit large number of individual labels, so as to ex press the air frombetween stone and drive it out oi the cup 2? through the perforations 47or along the sides ol' the stoeh of labels and ol die 22.

The other endof the spokes 2] is not threaded, but merely inserted deeply in theopening 55 in the hub 18 for the sake of an air-tight commnnieution withthe interior of the hollow shalt '17.

When the label has been separated from the stock by the hir suctionthrough the perforations 23, as above described, and while said label isbeing held upon the die 22 or label-holder by said air suction, therotation of the wheel 19 carries said label from the labcl-stock holder27 to the receptaclolZ for the mucilage, gum, or other adhesivematerial, preferably in fluid form. As the label passes the roller I0 ofsaid adhesive-aplicr it receives from said roller 10, usual y liy directcontact therewith, a coating of the adhesive substance on that side ofthe label which is intended to 0 next the bottle. To irevent the labelfrond leaving the. die 22 whi e passing the roller 10, a plurality offingers 56, pivoted to the rod 57, extending from the rece )taele 12,serve as uides forthe label and prelent the roller 10 Tom causing sameto adhere to it. The roller 10 is pre erably formed of rubber or similarmaterial but the use of such substance is not essential. The receptacle12 is supported in proper position by the bracket 58, attached to themain frame l of the machine. The spring-fingers 56 are socketed in thesleeve 57, encircling the rod 57, a projection 57' depending from saidsleeve 5-7, a perforation 57" through said projection 57' receiving theshank of the screw 57". By means of the coin-ting threads on the screw57" and in the perfora tion 57" of projection 57 when the screw 57 isturned to the right the projection 57 is drawn out from the rear wall ofreceptacle 12, which rotates sleeve 57, and thereby presses the fingers56 more closely in contact with the roller 10, said fingers being fixedto the sleeve 57 and moving therewith. The reverse movement of the screw57' loosens the con tact of thcfingers 56 with the rollerlO and maremove same from engagement therewith f 1 desired. The rod 57 as itshearings in lugs 57*, projecting rearwardly from t ie receptacle 12.

In the periphery of the wheel ,1!) (elsewhere denoniinated thelabel-carrier a phirality of grooves 5!) is provided which groovesextend through the dies 22, as depicted in Figshl and 5; or threads 60endless and passing around the grooved pulleys 61, mounted on the rod62, journalcd in opposite sides of the main frame 1. The presence of thewires 60 in the grooves 59 does not at all interfere with the retentionof the label on the dies 22 until the die 22 reaches a position slightlybeyond that of the upper die in Figs. 3 and 6. At said point the wires60 leave the label-carrier 19 to follow their course around the groovedpulleys 61. As they are in a position between the l ahcl and the rinrol'the wheel 1!) when their direction of travel runs at a tangent to theperiphery of the wheel 19, said wires 60 are adapted to strip thelabel-from the label-holding dies '22 as said dies successively reachsaid point of In said grooves 59 steel wires are located, said wiresbeing" tangential departure of said wires 60 from the wheel orlabel-carrier 19. Not only this, but as the motion of the wheel 19actuates. said endless wires 60 to trav'el like endless conve ers theyserve as a conveyor for each of said labcls from the timethat the labelis stripped from the label-holder 22 on the label-carrier 19, conveyingeach label individually to the labeling-table 63.

In the labeling-table 63 grooves 64 receive and contain the wires 60.saidtableifiii is vertically movable, and each label conveyed b thewires 60 reaches a point i'mmediatcl a ove same at a time when saidtable 63 is at its lower posi ion. The forward movement of the label onthe wires 60 is limited by the stationary pins 65, which pass throughperforations running from the top to the bottom of the table 63, saidpins being mounted on or integral with the crossbar 66. formed integralwith said crossbar 66 and opening vertically are a pair of sleeves 67,in which a pair of vertical standards 68 reciprocate, said standards 68supporting the table 63, being rigidly attached in any desired manner tothe metal plate 6!) of the table 63; said late 69 having on its ed es aflange 70, whicli retains the rubber bloc or pad 71 in place, thusgiving the table 63 a cushionlikc character when the bottle 72 rollsupon it just as same is vertical] y rising.

Thevertical movement of the table 63 is produced by a pair of cams 73,revolving with the shaft 16, which is driven by the pinion l4, meshingwith the gear 74, fixed to the shaft 16. The standards 68, whichreciprocate through the sleeves 67, formed in t 1e hanger 118 from thetop cross-pieces 2 of the main frame 1 at their lower ends, are providedwith horizontal sleeves 75, through which the cross bar or shaft 76passes. On the ends of the cross-bar 76 a pair of rollers 77 is mounted.ride in the groove 78 on each of the cams 73, "and when in the rotationof the cams 73 the rollers 77 strike the shoulders 79 they ride oversame, which instantly causes the table 63, borne by the standards 68, torise, and the same remains in its higher position so long as the rollers77 ride upon the high part of the cams 73.

Above the table 63 extends the endless conveyor 80, consisting of a flatbelt or web traveling over a mir of pulleys 81, journaled by shafts 82in horizontal strips 83. Bolts pass throu h the stri )S 83, said strips83 being secure thereon )y the nuts 84 on their outer ends. The otherends of the bolts 85 are secured in the pair of arms 86, projectingforwardly from the air of brackets 87-, surmounting the main ame 1 ofthe machine, whereby a firm support for the endless convcyer 80, as wellas one conveniently located, is provided.

' expressing the air between the pack of labels and to separate the toplabel by either means the bottles 91 will not have holder 22 at themouth of the cupor labellabel-stock holder 27 with labels, pushing thedisk 28 back to the bottom of the cup 27 before that is done, and tokeep a suitable number of bottles 93 in line behind the escapement 95.In this connection it should be noted that the shelf 88 may betransformed into an inclined run or that an endless conveyer may beconnected therewith, so that to be removed by hand.

It will be observed that the die or labelholder 22 of the label-carrier19 is of a peculiar shape, 'that the label-stock holdernamely, the cup27 is of it like sha e, and that the two right-hand wires (coking fromthe front are closer together than the other wires are to each other.The shape of the label which has been practically handled and applied tobottles by the use of this machine is like that of the die 22 and cup27. In order that the parts of the labels 011 both sides of theindentation 1 17 may be properly held andconveyed by the Wires 60, it isdesirable to locate said two right-hand wires close enough togetherconveniently to accomplish that purpose. With other odd shapes of labelsrearrangement of the wires might be found desirable. in general it maybe said arrangement of the several parts may be made without departingfrom the nature and The operation of the machine is as follows: Allparts move in the direction indicated by the arrows. Power from theshaft of the engine having been imparted simultaneously to the shaft ofthe fan 25 and the band wheel 4, the fan induces air-suction through thepipe 24, hollow shaft 17, slot 17, hollow s okes 21, and perforations 23in the dies 22. T he receptacle 12 for the adhesive material with whichthe label is to be pasted upon the bottle having been 'preyiously filledwith such adhesive, preferably in liquid form, the main. shaft 5, bymeans of belt 8 and pulley 7, rotates the roller 10, the label-stockholder 27 having been filled with labels to a. point adjacent to orslightly beyond the circumferential line' of perforations 47, the disk28 beingat the bottom of the cup 27. With the rotation of the main shaft5 the pinion 14 drives the gears 26 and 7 4 and with them the wheel 19and shaft 16. Around the shaft 17' is driven the wheel or label-carrier19, which thus successively presents each die or labelstock holder 27and slightly inserts the same therein. For convenience of this insertionand also to enable the label-holder 22to com press the stock of labelswithin the clip 2'17, abe s through the perforations 47 or alongside thefrom the stock of labels and remove same from the label-stock holder orcup 27 without 7 the removed label coming in contact with the edges ofthe cup 27, said cup 27 is given an oscillating moveuumt by alternatedepression and elevation of the rod 43, ecccldrically connected to thepinion 14. Each time the label-stock holder 27 oscillates upward (orbackward) the linger 37 pushes the ratchetwheel 33 one or more notchesforward, which causes the rod 29 to move forward, carrying with it thedisk 28 and the remaining stbck of labels, so that the topmost im-mbenofsaid stock will always be in the right position in the forward part ofthe cup 27 tobe separated by the meuumtic suction through theperforations 23 in the label-holder 22, The labeLholder 22 leaves thecup 27, holding a label thereon, which is thus carried by the furtherrevolution of the wheel or label-carrier 19 until said label comes incontact with the roller 10, where the label Itfl-lVQS acoating ofadhesive umterial. The label-ca rier I9 thereupon continues its rotationand arries the. gummed label to the point where the wires or threads 60act as a stripping "tr vice and themselves assume the function ol llbelconveyer to carry said label from the wheel 19 to the labelin -table63, where the label is positioned by t is pins then )rojectiug throuhand above said table 63. hereupon the table 63 vertically rises, striping the wires 60 from the underneath side oft 1e label resting on thetable 63 and causinp the pins 65 to disappear through the table 63 andbringing the table first into a plane with the shelf 92 and laterinto ahigher position, where the bottle 72 is pressed between the table 63 andthe conveyer 80, the label being thus caused to adhere tightly to thebottle which is forwarded by the conveyer 80 as bottle 91 to the shelf88, thence to be removed by hand or an endless conveyer or otherwise, asmay be desired. The high position of the table 63 is maintained untilthe bottle has rolled across same and has reached the shelf 88.Thereupon the table 63 descends to its lowest position, this alternaterising-andfalling movemeht of the table 63 being produced by therotation of the cams 78, fixed to the shaft 16, which is driven by thegear 74, meshing with pinion 14. The rollers 77 ride upon the came 73and being connected with the standards 68', sup orting the table 63cause said table to rise an fall.

' The supply of the bottles to the table 63 is regulated andpredetermined by the speed of rotation of the eseepement 95, which isactuated by the s rocket-wheel 90 on the shaft 100,, driven b t e pinion107, mounted on the shaft 16. T 1e conveyor 80 is also actuated by theshaft 16 by means of pinion 108, gear 109, shaft 110, s roeketwheel 111,sprocket-chainll2, sha t 82, and one of the pulleys 81. It will beunderstood that all of the movin(g1 parts are so proportioned, arranged,an regulated that they move synchronously, so that each shall performits function at the n'oper time to cooperate with any other and allother partrim-pending t here on. Thus the esrapoment HF] releasesboltles at such periods of time as to allow same to rem-h the table '33hel'ore it is higher in plane than the shell' J2, so that the bottlesmay meet withnoohstrurtion in rolling upon said table and so that theymay be lifted into onpagement with the conveyor R. The label" ioldcrs 22are so arranged with relation to the other parts that a label isdelivcri'ul to the lal'leling-tnblc 63 at n time when the pins 65project thereahove and when the upward movement of the table 63 will actto strip the label from the wires 6 and also at such a time withrelation to the escapement of the bottles that the same will cause thelabels to adhere thereto by rolling thercover. In like manner theoscillation of the lalml-stocl holder is so regulated that its openingregisters with the approaching die or labclholder .32 and continues inregister therewith until an individual label has been secured by thelabel-holdcr and until the label holder 22 has rotated, so as to bewithdrawn from the labelstock holder. 27.

While I have shown and described pins as stationary and reciprocatingthrough the table 63, yet pins for a similar purpose mi ht be merelyplaced over recesses in table 63, said recesses containing 5 rings whichnormally project the pins 65 above the table 63, so as to stop thelabels when brought into contact therewith by the wires 60, but allow ofthe dc rcssion of said pins 65 within said recesses i iy the mere forceof the bottle 72 rolling over same.
